Where do the rose gardens?
The rose gardens are specialized gardens, which as its name implies, they exhibit only species and varieties of the genus Rosa. His love of this genre is because it carries should be the most beautiful flower, or at least most of the people are. We can find rose gardens display in countless public and private gardens in backyards, gardens, and there are also small gardens with just a flower, an organization of competitions each year where it exhibits new varieties, hybrids, and area growers compete , the country or even events are held internationally.
There are also conservation rose gardens, botanical gardens, where old species or preserving wild. Since the dawn of civilization the genus Rosa has been valued for its fragrance, its beauty, and cosmetic uses. Recall that since the time of Cleopatra women embellished with products such as perfumes or natural clays. Besides this, the mystical and mythical symbolism that gave the old people is very important: the major civilizations of the West, as were the Romans and Greeks associated this beautiful flower of love to the goddesses Venus and Aphrodite, in even the doubts arose early Christians to use or not, since its association with pagan rites was important, but identified the five wounds of Christ with the five petals of the wild rose, but later also used red roses to symbolize the blood of the saints, and roses generally associated with the Virgin Mary.
As you can see, the weakness of this flower may be more important than religious ideas. The rose began to be cultivated in Europe in the nineteenth century, and this is where modern varieties arise roses, and they begin to be more popular and create the most beautiful rose gardens. For cultivation, we can then differentiate the old and modern roses. The old roses are stronger, have fewer pests, and were popular in Europe until they started new varieties brought from China and East in general, but the first hybrid tea rose from (in 1867) by Jean – Baptiste Guillot which became more popular to this genre marking the beginning of modernity.These roses are the most common in gardens and flower shop today, and its advantage is that it consisted of a hybridization of Chinese perpetual flowering roses, with other varieties of higher force of Europe itself. In all this time that has elapsed since the first hybridization, there are more than 30,000 varieties worldwide, and more appear each year. We can then classify them into wild roses (which are those that grow in nature), grown old roses (not hybridized, prior to 1867) and grown roses modern (post 1867). There are other types of roses according to their growth.
For creating gardens of roses, we must first see the space to use, then what we would like to place. Beyond that many species and varieties are widespread and others are typical of any area, roses have a great capacity for tolerance of different varieties of soil, then it will not be a factor that affects the choice of the Rose . But, as is a plant that should be in the sun, must have good irrigation.
Roses are typically used to form monospecific and bodies or groups of one color, or even bedding stuck to walls. Widely used hybrid tea and floribunda polyanthas, but if you want to make more compact masses for small areas, are very useful miniature roses. Of course, also be combined with other shrubs; for this are better old roses, which have larger and more vigorous (especially the European varieties). Another habit that can be found in roses, and that is very useful for the rose gardens, is the climbing habit. It appears among the varieties and gnarled vines, but the second is less vigorous and reaches a smaller size.
We can cover with this beautiful floor arches, walls, columns, statues, arbors, garden kiosks, and all that comes to mind (abuse is never good), always putting on smooth surfaces some support for growth. Another way to present this shrub in our gardens of roses is forming hedges with him. Again we find a great variety of species including old roses like Rosa hugonis, Rosa rubiginosa, Rosa rugosa. Another habit of this kind is to be a ground cover shrub not reaching more than 40 cm tall, climbing and even some varieties are good for this role. Rosa is not only a shrub, but can also grow as a tree, which is notable for its rounded crown, and may be gaudy in a big garden. It is important to note that Rosa varieties usually have thorns, and that if we conditionning the garden of our house, we should place any restrictions so that children do not hurt them.

We can grow the flowers with one or two goals. The first and foremost, always garden decoration, with hindsight can be used flowers as cut flowers for bouquets and floral decorations.

For garden flowers or decorative result we must take into account several important issues when selecting varieties that are appropriate to what we read in size, shape, time of flowering, fragrance, and, most important and striking , color. Always consider these data for selection of pots and sites where you place the flowers, plus also for the organization of the garden. fTerms of size, larger flowers are usually in smaller numbers in the plants, so they should pick colors that highlight the brownish green of the leaves, place them in addition to larger beds as monocultures. In turn, the small flowers appear in a more seamless provision, and also can be placed or inserted as monocultures and assemble arrays of colors that can be seen from higher ground.
On the way, not all garden flowers have a rounded shape, but there are others such as Bird Flower, large, special form, which can not be placed to form dense thickets filled with flowers, but with a few highlights the place and will always attract attention.
